The Lesson taught by Abraham (peace be upon Him)

Lesson # 740 From the Noble Quran

The Lesson taught by
Abraham (peace be upon Him)

Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle)
– Chapter – 6)–Stage - 2

Verses
–78 & 79 of 165, Section – 9 of 20 (Part - 7)

BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

78.
And when he saw the sun uprising, he said: This is my Lord! This is
biggest of them all. And when it set, he exclaimed: O my people! Lo! I am
quit of all that ye associate (with Him).

79. Lo! I have turned my face toward Him Who
created the heavens and the earth, as one by nature upright, and I am not of
the idolaters.

When it was dawnand
the sun manifested with great splendor, the doors and the walls were eliminated,
the eyes were in the state of being dazzled due to its glitter, then, Abraham
(peace be upon Him) said: Perhaps it (the sun) is able to be my Lord, it is the
biggest and splendid despite all of them. At the end of the day, that faded,
set entirely, slowly and gradually.

At that
time Abraham (peace be upon Him) decided: while the stars, the moon and the sun
(all of them) are helpless then nothing of them can be my Lord. So I gave up
absolutely all of them and O People! Listen to Me (peace be upon Him): while
such raised and bright things cannot be God, then, in which number are your
these idols? I deny your all these gods and bow My head before My Lord, Allah –
The Wise and The Omnipotent. And I exclaim that I am quit of all that you
associate with Him.

Let’s think now deeply on these
verses. Abraham
(peace be upon Him) saw the sun in the day and thought about its dignity and splendor
in the awe-stricken condition that it is biggest even from the stars and the
moon, sitting alone at height and it has surrounded the entire things with its
own light and heat. Certainly it would be My Lord. At the end of the day, when
it set also, then He (peace be upon Him) addressed the people and said: It is
sufficient to understand. I declare that I am quit of your all self-made
gods and I have turned my face from all things toward only That Majestic Creator,
Who created the heavens, the earth and all the creatures among them without any
model as one by nature upright, and I do not ascribe anyone or anything as associate
of Him.

Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) taught this method to the human being for making the sense and wisdom
useful and named those people “Muslims” who turn their whole attention to this
side by knowing likewise Allah Almighty.
